Setting Up Halloween

We have finally gotten some nice cool weather this week now that October has arrived!  We can take walks in the middle of the day without melting, and we can open our windows at night to cool the house down.  In fact, when the kids played in the kiddie pool one evening Brandon had to warm water on the stove for the pool because the kids were so cold but didn't want to get out of the water yet.  They had a cute little cuddle session afterwards all wrapped in blankets.

Since it is cold and Kylie and Hayden both love playing in the water, we have to improvise sometimes.  We filled up the sink and added bubbles and toys and they both played in the water for hours!

Hayden isn't walking yet, but it isn't for lack of trying!  This is my view practically all day as he has me walk him around:

The only time he will really walk is when Brandon and I pass him back and forth between us:

This week we got out all our Halloween decorations.  Both of the kids got super excited and we had a lot of fun dressing up in the witch's hat.

Kylie loved all my Nightmare Before Halloween figurines and had to watch the movie and play with them at the same time.  She actually really likes that movie and watches it once a month!

THEN Kylie found all the old costumes and just HAD to wear her Minnie Mouse costume from two years ago.  It's so small it doesn't eve cover her bottom anymore, but she loved it.

Even Hayden loved wearing the mouse ears!

Something that surprised me is when Kylie made a design with the window clings.  I had no idea she was capable of making a pattern or design yet!! It was so exciting and I loved that she did it completely on her own!
